Quantum GestART: Identifying and Applying Correlations between Mathematics, Art, and Perceptual Organization

2020

Mathematics can help analyze the arts and inspire new artwork. Mathematics can also help make transformations from one artistic medium to another, considering exceptions and choices, as well as artists' individual and unique contributions. We propose a method based on diagrammatic thinking and quantum formalism. We exploit decompositions of complex forms into a set of simple shapes, discretization of complex images, and Dirac notation, imagining a world of "prototypes" that can be connected to obtain a fine or coarse-graining approximation of a given visual image. Visual prototypes are exchanged with auditory ones, and the information (position, size) characterizing visual prototypes is con…

Note esplicative a piè di pagina

Il documento presenta 12 note a piè di pagina che esplicitano il significato di alcuni lemmi specialistici afferenti all'ambito della "Teoria e storia della Didattica". La loro presenza nella monografia intitolata "La ricerca didattica in Italia (1950-2020)" è funzionale alla comprensione di alcuni importanti temi presentati nel corpo del testo dei primi tre capitoli.

Polysemy and gestaltist computation. some notes on gestaltist compositionality

2019

The paper is devoted to the concept of Gestaltist Compositionality. It is divided into two parts. The first part will introduce a minimal definition of «Gestaltist Compositionality». Moreover, it will prove that the computations implemented by this model of compositionality are sufficiently flexible to ensure the presence of several orders of semantic determination. The second part will be devoted to an investigation of the consequences of this result with particular reference to the identification of some versions of compositionality which relax the condition of semantic atomism without weakening the links of determination between understanding of the compounds and understanding of the com…

Introduction

2017

The book is devoted to three key questions concerning the relationship between complexity and natural language. Briefly, such questions are: (a) What kind of complexity for natural language? (b) Which theory of language in the perspective of complexity? (c) What sorts of methods and models in the analysis of the observed phenomena? All the essays in this volume show the reference to complexity as a constant element. However, the use of the singular may not be entirely appropriate.

When Geometry Constrains Vision: Systematic Misperceptions within Geometrical Configurations.

2016

International audience; How accurate are we in reproducing a point within a simple shape? This is the empirical question we addressed in this work. Participants were presented with a tiny disk embedded in an empty circle (Experiment 1 and 3) or in a square (Experiment 2). Shortly afterwards the disk vanished and they had to reproduce the previously seen disk position within the empty shape by means of the mouse cursor, as accurately as possible. Several loci inside each shape were tested. We found that the space delimited by a circle and by a square is not homogeneous and the observed distortion appears to be consistent across observers and specific for the two tested shapes. However, a com…

Motion in Experience. Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives

2020

Under the title Motion in Experience, the phenomenon of movement is discussed as a trait of experience in a wide range of interpretations. Moving and being moved come into play not only as physical phenomena, but also as inner developmental movements. The aim of this issue is to foster a common and interdisciplinary reflection on the phenomenon of movement as a decisive moment of experience.

Lectura versus contemplación. Los límites visuales del texto

2009

El artículo ofrece una reflexión comparativa e interdisciplinar en torno a los problemas perceptivos y estéticos que plantean tanto el texto ilustrado como el texto en cuanto ilustración, profundizando, a través de ejemplos, en el carácter controvertido de diversas representaciones textuales que han intentado dar salida a la incapacidad humana para la percepción simultánea de dos estímulos provenientes del mismo campo sensorial. Por otro lado, se ofrece un breve repaso histórico del surgimiento de la perspectiva en las artes, complementado con ejemplos ilustrativos del relativismo en la percepción humana. En resumen, se ofrece un estudio multidisciplinar de los problemas estéticos, cognitiv…

Coparenting nelle nuove figure familiari: orizzonti teorici e percorsi di osservazione in Gestalt Therapy

Taking a triangular perspective: coparenting and Gestalt therapy

2015

The aim of this article is to go beyond dyadic observational units to consider the parent-child relationship starting from a primary triad formed by parents and the child. This triad could be analyzed as an interactive matrix within the many possible combinations of new families (e.g. stepfamilies, childfree and LAT couples). In Gestalt therapy, the extension of this framework may promote an effective connection between research and clinical work: new units of observation could be processed through contact boundaries between parents with their children, as well as other family members
